In the world of Moonlighter, merchants travel across interconnected worlds to sell unique wonders. Will, the protagonist, used to venture into these realms, gathering loot and selling treasures in his bustling shop. After the events of the first game, Will loses his home dimension and ends up as a castaway in the blob-filled land of Tresna, where he is joined by both familiar faces and new allies. One day, a powerful businessman and passionate relic collector makes Will an enticing offer. If the shopkeeper-hero retrieves treasures from three strange dimensions, this enigmatic patron promises to return Will and his friends home.

Customize your play style by unlocking a variety of upgrades with each run. Strategically place relics in your backpack to turn their effects into profit! Manage your shop with charm and haggle for the best deals. Reinvest your profits in powerful new equipment to prepare for future expeditions. Immerse yourself in an unforgettable soundtrack by Chris Larkin (Hollow Knight).

“The original Moonlighter was a pivotal moment for us, marking the growth of Digital Sun as a team. Five years later, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault showcases everything we’ve learned along the way. We’re putting all of our craftsmanship into making a game that’s not only better, but more charming in every detail,” said Digital Sun CEO Javier Gimenez in the press release.

Moonlight 2: The Endless Vault will be released sometime next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
